Sometimes You Just Want an Appetizer

 By Maureen Bonatch

When I go to a restaurant for dinner, the appetizer choices look better than the meals.

It might be that I’m not hungry or don’t have time, or I want to try something new.

Often, it’s satisfying, and I might find a new favorite.

I think the same way about short stories and novellas. 


I write paranormal cozy mystery stories, paranormal romance, and urban fantasy.

My stories have many similarities but are slightly different. If you’re like me,

most paranormal will do, but if not, I have short stories of my different genres—

consider it an appetizer—to see if the genre and the series are what you like. 

Here is my story ‘appetizer’ menu

The best thing about these three stories, unlike appetizers at a restaurant

that sometimes cost almost as much as the whole meal, these

stories are free when you sign up for my newsletter.
